The hole has now been welded up but water is still getting in but nowhere near as much, pictures to follow
Before increasing the power the rear axle needed to be upgraded so I have removed the Cosworth 2wd axle with its 7.5" lsd diff from my Escort and put it under this car but not before fitting a solid diff mount, have had some used coilovers in storage for a while and thought they would be best used on this car so on they went. Brakes and new wheels to fit yet as ran out of daylight
